Talk:Web banner
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
- Does anyone know why most web banner ads are 468 * 60 pixels? Tjwood 16:13, 2 May 2004 (UTC)
- Tjwood, 468x60 is a standard some organization created. And most everyone in the online advertising industry followed. There are other common standardized sizes too. --Charles Iliya Krempeaux
- If I have made a banner advertising my homepage, and this banner is shown on another homepage without my consent, is there anything to do about that? do I "own" the design which I have created? /marxmax
- marxmax, if you created it. Then you own the copyright. (Assuming that you didn't use someone else's copyrighted material.) Therefore, you could take legal action. You might try and just ask them not to use it, first, though. --Charles Iliya Krempeaux
- Approximately how many clicks does a banner ad recieve per view? --Taejo | Talk 16:37, 29 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] World's First Banner Ad
- To whomever maintains this page: You might want to include: The Internet's First Banner Ad - There should probably be a connection with the "punch the monkey" series of banners, as well. LionKimbro

The Interactive Advertising Bureau has released a set of sizes which it has designed to make ad sizing more predictable and better for both consumer and producer. It calls these web advertisements "interactive marketing units". The sizes are as follows (measurements in pixels ): Sizes for rectangular/pop-up ads
| NAME | width px | height px | width cm | height cm |
| Medium Rectangle | 300 | 250 | ||
| Square Pop-Up | 250 square | |||
| Vertical Rectangle | 240 | 400 | ||
| Large Rectangle | 336 | 280 | ||
| Rectangle | 180 | 150 |
Sizes for banner/button ads
| NAME | width | height |
| Full Banner | 468 | 60 |
| Half Banner | 234 | 60 |
| Micro Button | 80 | 15 |
| Micro Bar | 88 | 31 |
| Button 1 | 120 | 90 |
| Button 2 | 120 | 60 |
| Vertical Banner | 120 | 240 |
| Square Button | 125 square | |
| Leaderboard | 728 | 90 |
| Sizes for "skyscraper" ads | ||
| Wide Skyscraper | 160 | 600 |
| Skyscraper | 120 | 600 |
| Half Page Ad | 300 | 600 |
The IAB has also further standardized four of the sizes (Medium Rectangle, Rectangle, Leaderboard, Wide Skyscraper) into a set of guidelines it calls the "Universal Ad Package".
[edit] Ad Blocking
If I don't want Skyscraper ads, I just hide them with my window. Or I just turn off Flash and...
[edit] Sobbing :-(
I was actually the first who thought of adding an actual graphic example of a web banner to this page - and a stylish one at that - and now you guyz have dumped it for some boring "in-bred" wiki banner. Duh-uh :-( Wit 14:48, 23 September 2006 (UTC) (sobbing)
[edit] Link-spamming recidivist
How does one flag someone for that? The 216.186.157.73 contribs page says it all really.
Who is this joker 216.186.157.73 anyway?
Wit 16:27, 12 December 2006 (UTC) [Hello! We are really sorry for that accident. We are really NOT a spamming company. How can we contact a person what could help us deal with that problem and to explain how to get out from the blacklist? What can we do for that? Please help.]
[edit] Oversize ads
On YouTube, there are now ads which have invisible boundaries extending over all of the page header so that a click to somewhere like the search bar is considered an ad click. Is this a new type of banner ad? --ÆAUSSIEevilÆ 00:17, 21 December 2006 (UTC)
